Panel-lined AniLeader Megatron and others
Category: Repaints and Minor Mods | Views: 396 | Replies: 13
Was bored yesterday, so I decided to try and panel-line Megatron. Liked the result a lot, so I did a few of my other (non Animated) figures. Scattorshot is alright and Grimlock turned out as a failure, so I decided to try a much thinner marker for Bumblebee and Prime, which worked a lot better. Anyways, was a fun little experiment, it's quick to do, super-easy, improves the look of the figures, and I doubt these will be the last, especially with any future Animated toys I get.

Edit: Damnit. Images were to large, so here are direct links.

IMO, too thin for Optimus prime but better than you think on grimlock. i think he actually looks good, anyway, better than plain grey.TFA meg, cyb scattorshot and classic BB actually look better.

that cyb scattershot looks so much better paneled and so does BB. however I think because of the grimlock mold to much comes through and it looks slightly messy and with Ani megs there doesn't seem to be much detail to be picked out (I don't have the mold so I'm not to sure on that one lol)

Yeah, made a stupid mistake with Grimlock by using too thick lines...DX That, and some details are warped, oddly enough...Like something went wrong in the molding process...Didn't notice that before.

I didn't want to accentuate Prime too much, since he looks gorgeous as is. And it looks a LOT better in real life then in the pics; it's very thin, but almost perfectly mimics shadows. Very proud of that effect.

I think all of them are improvements because want you did is gave them more of a mechanical feel to them almost like their jumping out of those pictures. So great job and keep it up.

Micron pen can be found at your local Micheal's at .1 sizes.

I like the others, but that Grimlock looks impressive. Most impressive.

I used two regular markers, with a thickness of 0.3 and 0.5. Then for Megatron, Grimlock and Scattorshot, I used a dual-ended permanent ink marker (brand: Identi.Pen), with a fine and extra fine end. The dual marker sticks in one go (which can be a disaster if you do something wrong, IMMEDIATELY WIPE IT AWAY, it will stick in a few seconds), and with regular markers you'll need to go over the lines multiple times, to make it the thickness you want and to prevent it from being rubbed away the first time you pick it up and hold it.

Hope that helped.

Nicely done. I especially like the panel lines on Megatron.

If I can offer constructive criticism here...

I REALLY like the thin lines, like on Bbee, Prime and Megs...panel lines and simple washes do a lot to bring out the beautiful sculptural elements we don't notice very often on these single-color-molded parts.

But I agree that the lines on Scattorshot and Grimlock look far too thick. Although it makes Scattorshot look VERY much like his CG animated counterpart.

Another fun candidate for Panel Lines? Try any of the Classics/Henkei Seekers. Here's two pics of my Starscream, after I gave him a panel line wash.

But the most important thing is that YOU'RE happy with the results. Keep up the good work!

Oooh, that looks very good. But sadly, I don't have any of the Classics Seekers. Probably mostly because I'm a scale addict. MP Seekers for the win, even if I only have Greenscream. :
